Clock Hands Running

[Verse 1]
Woke up to another rush
Same sky, different cut
Shoelaces hit the floor
Then the day ran off
I thought I had more time
Thought the hour stood still
But the mirror kept a secret
That it always will

I watched my summer fade
In a blink, in a blur
Names slipped through my hands
Like smoke through a shirt
Everybody moving
Like they got somewhere to be
I’m still at the window
Watching life leave me

[Pre-Chorus]
And I been trying to hold it
Trying to slow that spin
But the world keeps turning
And it takes everything
Every laugh goes quiet
Every face goes ghost
I reach for the moment
It’s already gone

[Chorus]
Time don’t wait for me
Time don’t wait for me
Life goes by so fast
Like a shot through a dream

Time don’t wait for me
Time don’t wait for me
I kept missing my life
Now it’s hard to believe

[Verse 2]
Everybody says
We’ll remember the best
But the days get stacked up
Till they crush the rest
No clean ending
No perfect scene
Just a blur of bodies
And a half-lived dream

I seen old friends change
In a month, in a year
Some got lost to the climb
Some disappeared
And the things we swore
We would never forget
Feel like pages in the rain
That ain’t dried yet

[Pre-Chorus]
And I been trying to hold it
Trying to slow that spin
But the world keeps turning
And it takes everything
Every laugh goes quiet
Every face goes ghost
I reach for the moment
It’s already gone

[Chorus]
Time don’t wait for me
Time don’t wait for me
Life goes by so fast
Like a shot through a dream

Time don’t wait for me
Time don’t wait for me
I kept missing my life
Now it’s hard to believe

[Bridge]
If I could call it back
I’d say stay a while
I’d keep one more sunset
In the front of my mind
But the hands keep moving
And the truth cuts clean
Everybody fades out
Everybody leaves

[Chorus]
Time don’t wait for me
Time don’t wait for me
Life goes by so fast
Like a shot through a dream

Time don’t wait for me
Time don’t wait for me
I kept missing my life
Now it’s hard to believe
